even though the current japanese youths were not involved in the war crimes of the past. I've spoken to chinese youths and they are so enraged with Japan . they always mention that they hate japanese people, so since i don't hate it..Japan turns into a topic i must avoid.
Some chinese youths don't hate but most of the 100 ones i talked to over time in voice chats, mentioned it and a few times they gave me a really hard time when i was talking to them about the history of the word CHINA...( I simply said that the word china may have been taken from a japanese kanji construction and apparently the way the japanese used it had a very evil goal toward chinese).immediately , they got super angry and said "dont' even say that word anymore" then they started cussing at japanese, saying "those pigs" and the like. gosh it's just a word, and it's part of history, i can't understand them. I just mentioned it cause i like history and they like english so it was an interesting theory i wanted to share with them.
So why the young youths who were not involved in war, hate japanese?
I dont hate japanese cause they attacked pearl harbor. And what about japanese people , how do they feel to be hated by the chinese?
